• Elevated temperature reduces survivorship and settlement of the larvae of the Caribbean scleractinian coral, Favia fragum (Esper) (2009, background): “It is urgent to understand how coral larval development, survivorship, and settlement are affected by elevated temperatures since any reduction in larval supply would be expected to also reduce coral recruitment and potential for reef recovery (Edmunds et al. 2001).”
• Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “Examples include the effects of sediment regimes (Gilmour 1999), light and ultraviolet radiation levels (Edmunds et al. 2001), nitrogen and phosphorus levels (harrison & Ward 2001) and exposure to toxicants such as insecticides, fungicides (Markey et al. 2007), antifoulants (Negri et al. 2001) and…”
• Plasticity of larval pre-competency in response to temperature: observations on multiple broadcast spawning coral species (2010, background): “Competent coral larvae have been exposed to high temperatures for short periods (10 min to 24 h), and this can increase rates of larval metamorphosis (Coles 1985; Edmunds et al. 2001; Nozawa and Harrison 2007).”
• Differing effects of thermal stress on coral fertilization and early embryogenesis in four Indo Pacific species (2007, result): “The results of the present study and others (Edmunds et al. 2001; Bassim and Sammarco 2003) indicate that, despite the absence of symbiotic dinoXagellates, fertilization, embryogenesis and larval development of A. millepora is also susceptible to direct temperature stress.”
• Reproductive ecology of a deep-water scleractinian coral, Oculina varicosa, from the southeast Florida shelf (2003, background): “Temperature can have a significant effect on mortality and metamorphosis in coral larvae (Edmunds et al., 2001); however, the investigation into the effect of temperature on larval swimming speed shows that O.”
• Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching (2004, background): “Coral larvae exposed to 33 °C for 24 h (Edmunds et al. 2001) showed increased mortality, and reduced metamorphosis time compared to exposures at ambient temperatures (28 °C).”
• Genetic variation in responses to a settlement cue and elevated temperature in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora (2009, background): “Like adult colonies, earlier stages are critically sensitive to temperature; elevated temperatures reduce fertilization success, larval motility, and survival during the development of Acropora millepora and other coral species (Edmunds et al. 2001, Bassim & Sammarco 2003, Negri et al. 2007).”
• The physiological and molecular responses of larvae from the reef-building coral Pocillopora damicornis exposed to near-future increases in temperature and pCO2 (2012, background): “…temperature can affect the larval response by modulating settlement choice (Putnam et al. 2008) and can also reduce photosynthetic rates (Edmunds et al. 2001), settlement success (Randall and Szmant 2009), and survivorship (Edmunds et al. 2001; Bassim and Sammarco 2003; Yakovleva et al. 2009).”
• A corrosive concoction: The combined effects of ocean warming and acidification on the early growth of a stony coral are multiplicative (2011, background): “…irradiance (Maida et al., 1994; Babcock and Mundy, 1996), UV radiation (Kuffner, 2001, Gleason et al., 2005), elevated temperatures (Coles, 1985; Edmunds et al., 2001; Putnam et al., 2008) and temperature in combination with increased levels of ammonia (Bassim and Sammarco, 2003), and high…”
• Ultraviolet radiation effects on the behavior and recruitment of larvae from the reef coral Porites astreoides (2006, methodology): “In studies investigating temperature effects, we determined that P. astreoides larvae differ physiologically depending on their date of release ( Edmunds et al. 2001 ).”
• Survival dynamics of scleractinian coral larvae and implications for dispersal (2008, unknown): “…studies conducted to date have focused on testing for differences in larval survival under different environmental conditions (e.g., temperature: Edmunds et al. 2001; Bassim and Sammarco 2003; Brooke and Young 2005; Baird et al. 2006; salinity: Vermeij et al. 2006; and UV radiation: Wellington…”
• Effects of elevated temperature on larval settlement and post-settlement survival in scleractinian corals, Acropora solitaryensis and Favites chinensis (2007, background): “ambient + 2–6°C) on embryogenesis and larval survivorship have been reported in some species (Wilson and Harrison 1997; Edmunds et al. 2001; Bassim et al. 2002; Bassim and Sammarco 2003; Baird et al. 2006; Krupp et al. 2006).”
• The relative contribution of dinoflagellate photosynthesis and stored lipids to the survivorship of symbiotic larvae of the reef-building corals (2010, methodology): “For both the light and dark experiments, the volumes of consumed oxygen were measured for 15–30 min under dark conditions to determine the respiration rate ( Edmunds et al. 2001; Okubo et al. 2008).”
• Coral larvae: From gametes to recruits (2011, background): “astreoides larvae by forcing photosynthesis/respiration (P/R) ratios to decline to b1 (Edmunds et al., 2001).”
• Effect of aragonite saturation state on settlement and post-settlement growth of Porites astreoides larvae (2008, background): “…include nutrients (Harrison and Ward 2001; Bassim et al. 2002), anthropogenic contaminants (Negri and Heyward 2001; Negri et al. 2005), salinity (Vermeij et al. 2006), temperature (Edmunds et al. 2001), and exposure to ultra-violet radiation (UVR) (Wellington and Fitt 2003; Gleason et al. 2006).”
